1. For the Jin'rokh fight, I've always gone Destruction GoSac, because I assumed the damage boost meant that CB and SB would scale far beyond what a pet could do. This I'm not certain of anymore. Also, I assume I'll have much less uptime on the buff I get from the water because of Ionization, and am wondering if this means that GoSac is not a viable choice.
2. What pet? The Observer seems to always move behind the boss, but there's not necessarily always water there. And in some cases, there'll be bad water behind the boss I assume. If this is the case, would the safer bet be to go Imp+Gosup, or hope the Observer doesn't derp too heavily and stands in the wrong kind of water?
3. I've always saved Doomguard for when the boss is low, but how fast does he drop? Should I save it for the 4th waterpool? Or will he likely be dead before then?
For Horridon, I also have some questions.
1. I've heard a mastery gemmed and forged GoSac is best there, and I am fairly certain that is what I will play. However, I've also heard the damage requirements there are immensely high, but that the adds are the deciding factor. Any tips for how to play this? I've tried to snipe Shadowburns with havoc on Horridon, but I can't always get more than 1 SB through that havoc for various reasons.
2. The Direhorn that spawns from the call ability, will it only interact with me? If it goes through a group of melees on its way to me, will it kill them?
Thanks in advance.
